  2. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    This type of stress may be called (simple) normal stress or uniaxial stress; specifically, (uniaxial, simple, etc.) tensile stress. [13] If the load is compression on the bar, rather than stretching it, the analysis is the same except that the force F and the stress σ {\displaystyle \sigma } change sign, and the stress is called compressive ...

  3. Stress functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_functions

    The solution to the elastostatic problem now consists of finding the three stress functions which give a stress tensor which obeys the Beltrami-Michell compatibility equations. Substituting the expressions for the stress into the Beltrami-Michell equations yields the expression of the elastostatic problem in terms of the stress functions: [4]

  4. Cauchy stress tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_stress_tensor

    The first index i indicates that the stress acts on a plane normal to the X i-axis, and the second index j denotes the direction in which the stress acts (For example, σ 12 implies that the stress is acting on the plane that is normal to the 1 st axis i.e.;X 1 and acts along the 2 nd axis i.e.;X 2). A stress component is positive if it acts in ...

  5. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    The classical example (and namesake) of hoop stress is the tension applied to the iron bands, or hoops, of a wooden barrel. In a straight, closed pipe , any force applied to the cylindrical pipe wall by a pressure differential will ultimately give rise to hoop stresses.

  6. Maxwell stress tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_stress_tensor

    In the relativistic formulation of electromagnetism, the nine components of the Maxwell stress tensor appear, negated, as components of the electromagnetic stress–energy tensor, which is the electromagnetic component of the total stress–energy tensor. The latter describes the density and flux of energy and momentum in spacetime.

  7. Alternative stress measures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_stress_measures

    The nominal stress = is the transpose of the first Piola–Kirchhoff stress (PK1 stress, also called engineering stress) and is defined via = = = or = = = This stress is unsymmetric and is a two-point tensor like the deformation gradient.

  8. Unified strength theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_strength_theory

    The limit surfaces of the unified strength theory in principal stress space are usually a semi-infinite dodecahedron cone with unequal sides. The shape and size of the limiting dodecahedron cone depends on the parameter b and α {\displaystyle \alpha } .

  9. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    It gives the contact stress as a function of the normal contact force, the radii of curvature of both bodies and the modulus of elasticity of both bodies. Hertzian contact stress forms the foundation for the equations for load bearing capabilities and fatigue life in bearings, gears, and any other bodies where two surfaces are in contact.
